Caetano Veloso sings with his hands. When not strumming diminished seventh chords, his arms and hands are continually gesticulating, like a Bill T. Jones interpretive dance accompanying each song. Thursday night at Terminal 5, Veloso's arms were most often extended with palms out, an open embrace of the warehouse-like venue and its not-quite capacity crowd. But he'd also embrace himself, toss his arms in the air, twirl his hands like twisting helixes, or walk like an Egyptian. It seemed like he really just wanted to lift off in the hang-glider that served as a backdrop behind him and his three-piece band.
For the crowd—overwhelming comprised of Portuguese speakers of all ages—the nearly two-hour concert was a sentimental and nostalgic trip. The delicate "Desde Que O Samba é Samba", which was performed as a solo acoustic number midway through the concert, moved many to fervent shushing. Its gentle sing-along conveyed comfort, especially with Veloso at the helm. Introducing "Maria Bethânia", one of the only English songs in the set, Veloso reminisced about the circumstances under which he wrote the song, in exile in London nearly 40 years ago. Unfortunately another sing-along, "Mimar Voce", and its beautiful chorus, were left off the set list.
A musical stalwart of liberal progress, Veloso's political tone has hardly softened with age. The critical "Base De Guantánamo" was chilling, as the band's rattling hits synced with lightning strikes projected on the scrim behind the stage. Other video clips of Havana and Cuba followed.
The majority of the set was full of lively rhythms and heavy electric lead guitar. But it's Veloso's clean and clear voice that is the real attraction. Like Sinatra's, it beguiles with its apparent simplicity but seduces with its malleable, crystal tone.
While Veloso is adored with avuncular reverence, he was replete with adolescent exuberance. And though he sings with his hands, his entire body was in continuous motion—something his eclectic music constantly provokes. He worked the front of the stage, swaying and gyrating his hips whenever the moment, or the front-row, called for it. By the end of the night it even verged on provocative, something Veloso never eschews.

We had the pleasure of being driven by two experienced and knowledgeable drivers. Unfortunately, I don't remember the 1st driver's name female. She gave a lot of information and was a safe driver. The second driver, Milo, was the above and more....he added some of his personal experiences and made a few jokes. He engaged the passengers. The locations on the tour are excellent. I recommend the two day two. Balboa Park alone will take the whole day...
Doing what: San Diego Tour: Hop-on Hop-off Trolley
This is a great way to experience Balboa Park. Bridgette took plenty of time to ensure everyone was comfortable on the Segways, then led us on a great tour of the park. 100 recommended, we will look to book another tour with Bridgette the next time we visit San Diego
Doing what: Private Balboa Park Segway Tour
We enjoyed our Trolley Tour immensely. Our plan of attack was to ride the tour and get the information first and then go back to the things we were most interested in. That mostly worked. We did get off at Balboa Park and spent several hours there and then finished the tour. We would invite everyone going to Sand Diego to try it. We especially enjoyed Philip with one l and Susie. They were the two that guided us in our adventure.

Awesome! Bridgiet was a great guide? Friendly, knowledgable and funny too. Try this tour of Balboa Park it is a great way to learn about the park and ride from venue to venue? Again awesome

Thanks Bridgette - we had a great time seeing the sites in Balboa Park on your Segway tour - apart from being loads of fun we learnt a lot along the way - can and #39;t wait for the LaJolle tour!

This was a great tour! Bridgette was awesome and made us all feel so comfortable, even my son who had never been on a Segway before. I love how she personalized the trip with her experiences at the park. I really had no idea how big Balboa Park is but this was by far the best way to see it all in a short period of time!

Bridgette is fantastic, we booked our 1st tour at Balboa Park and booked a 2nd one for La Jolla beach.
She is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Highly recommended and you will have so much fun. Thanks Bridgette for the great times, we enjoyed our tour and the segway rides twice
Best of luck xx
Doing what: Private Balboa Park Segway Tour
We loved this tour and recommend it to everyone. It was easy and fun to learn how to ride the segway and our tour guide was awesome. She shared her extensive knowledge about Balboa Park with us which we would never have learned on our own. We don't usually like tours but this one was different and definitely 5 star!
Doing what: Private Balboa Park Segway Tour
This tour was amazing. Bridgette was our tour guide and she showed up with snacks, water and sunglasses/sunscreen for our comfort, and for free. She knew a lot about the history of Balboa Park, including the architecture and the museums. She was also very friendly and funny.
The segways were really fun to ride, and allowed us to cover a lot of ground within the park.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see a lot in the park and walk away knowing the history behind it.
Doing what: Private Balboa Park Segway Tour
4 adults went on the tour and none of us had ever ridden a Segway before. Brigitte was our tour guide and she was wonderful! She made us feel very comfortable on the Segways and we were ready to go after just a short lesson. The tour was really fun. We went all over Balboa Park and she gave us a lot of good information. We all had a great time and we would definitely recommend doing this. We thought the price was very reasonable for the two hour tour.

Trolleys run about every 30 minutes from many stops around the San Diego area. our driver provided a running commentary throughout our journey, she was clearly passionate about everything San Diego. From boarding in the Gaslamp District, we saw several sights and areas including Balboa Park, Little Italy and Old Town. This is a great way to orientate yourselves if this is your first time in San Diego. Highly recommended. Do at the start of your stay in this wonderful place
Doing what: San Diego Tour: Hop-on Hop-off Trolley
In a single word AWFUL!! Driver knew very little about city,did not make Balboa Park in time..everything was closed,talked about houses he painted in La Jolla and the famous people he had seen walking down the street..and absolutely horrible experience.
Doing what: San Diego City Tour
Our tour guide is nice and friendly. Tour was not complete as described on the website, e.g. did not visit Balboa park due to constructions (?), we went there by our own the following day and didn't understand why the tour bus couldn't get by there. We decided to book this tour just because it also includes a visit to La Jolla, otherwise would take Trolley tour instead to have more free time.
Doing what: San Diego Sightseeing Tour with Optional Harbor Cruise
Great tour to get started on your trip to San Diego. The only thing we didn't like was the seating in the back 3 rows, where the windows were open and the wind coming through made the trip not enjoyable. Couldn't adjust the windows, but understand that it probably would have been too warm not to have some windows open. Maybe open only one side at back and then open others on the other side in front. I don't know if that would cut down on the wind coming through so fast. Great service and tour guides, very accommodating. We were on the tour and were waiting for the trolley at Balboa Park and they had to send in a relief bus since the first was full. We happened to mention to the driver that we were on our way back to the hotel (Bayfront Hilton), picking up our jackets and then on to Seaport Village for the SEAL Tour that we had already paid for. The driver, Ken, checked with the office to see if once he dropped off the other 4 riders, if he could drop us off at the hotel and then Seaport Village. He found out that due to a Padre's game that after noon and a big University graduation ceremony at the conference center next to our hotel, traffic was at a stand still. He said he could get us to the hotel in a round about way, but wouldn't be able to take us to Seaport Village. He did get us to the hotel and we saw some of the other town that we would have missed otherwise. My husband had sprained his ankle getting off the first trolley a couple of days before getting off a trolley and he couldn't walk long distances. We were lucky to find a pedicab right outside of the hotel and he got us to the SEAL Tour on time. Thanks Ken for being so nice. The other drivers, Capt Bob, Vidal and a couple that we can't remember their names were great!
Doing what: San Diego Tour: Hop-on Hop-off Trolley
The trip itself covered all the highlights of San Diego, but I was seated way in the back of the van and sometimes had trouble hearing the guide. She also had an accent that made it difficult to understand all that she said. The back seat moved, and it's passengers almost hit the roof on certain bumps in the road. I did enjoy the stops in Balboa Park,Old Town and La Jolla, but would have liked a chance to visit the Coronado Hotel for a while. I took the Hop Off, Hop On Trolley the next day, visiting some of the same spots (except La Jolla) and that guide made the trip more interesting.
Doing what: San Diego City Tour
Driver was very knowledgeable, super informative tour, loved the spots, good length!
The only disappointing thing: didn't go to Balboa Park - should have told us before OR found another way to see it...more time for walking or something.

Visit the beaches on the Gulf barrier island and you're likely to see people doing the Sanibel Stoop. That's the term used to describe the bent-at-the-waist posture used to collect seashells on Sanibel Island, which bills itself as one of the best shelling locations in the world.

Southport, Queensland
Gold Coast, Queensland
The Gold Coast Broadwater commercial district
|28,315 (2011 census)[1]
|73 km (45 mi) from Brisbane
|City of Gold Coast
|State electorate(s)

Southport is a suburb and the central business district near the midpoint of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and has one of the city's largest communities. At the 2011 Census, Southport had a population of 28,315.[1]
Originally known as Nerang Creek Heads,[3] it was named Southport because it was the southernmost port of the colony of Queensland.[2] Southport is recognised as the central business district of the City of Gold Coast. It has the city's largest area of office space at 103,818 m2. In the past, Southport was the central entertainment location of the Gold Coast. In current times it is set apart from the normal tourist hub of the Gold Coast. However, it has still experienced tourist-driven development and extraordinary growth. Southport has 18 high-rise towers either completed, under construction or awaiting commencement.

In the 2011 Census the population of Southport is 28,315, 51.5% female and 48.5% male.
The median/average age of the Southport population is 36 years of age, 1 year below the Australian average.
55.2% of people living in Southport were born in Australia. The other top responses for country of birth were New Zealand 7.3%, England 4.3%, Korea, Republic of 2.9%, China 2.7%, Japan 1.7%.
69.8% of people speak English as their first language 3% Korean, 2.7% Mandarin, 2% Japanese, 1.4% Arabic, 1.1% Cantonese.
A settlement was first surveyed in 1874 and the name Southport decided the following year.[2] Southport was once the site of timber mills. A port was established to ship logs to Brisbane. Cutting timber opened up the area for settlement. Early rural industries included sugar growing and livestock grazing.
In 1883, the first Southport Pier was built to allow steamships to bring cargo and passengers to Southport.[4][5] In the 1880s, the Southport became the chosen site for the holiday residence of the Queensland Governor Sir Anthony Musgrave and his wife Lady Musgrave. Known as the Summer Place and still situated on the present day site of The Southport School, the choice of Southport as the preferred holiday destination for one of the most prominent couples in Queensland established the township as Queensland's preeminent seaside resort.[6] Following the death of the governor in 1888, the Summer Place continued to be a holiday home for visitors to the area.[7][8]
In 1889 the South Coast railway from Beenleigh to Southport opened. The line was closed in 1964.[9] After the arrival of the rail and prior to the construction of vehicular or pedestrian bridges across the Nerang River, a ferry service run by Johan Meyer ferried passengers to Main Beach, Queensland and a horse and buggy service linked the area to Surfers Paradise.
By 1901 Federation Southport was well established as a tourist seaside spot with numerous accommodation options and a permanent population of 1230.[10] Tourism continued to expand in the first half of the 20th century with Southport maintaining its role as a seaside resort and a popular destination for day trippers and excursionists travelling from Brisbane.[11] The construction of the Jubilee Bridge in 1925 between Southport and Main Beach replaced the ferry service and facilitated further growth.[12]
On 25 April 1922 (ANZAC Day) Southport War Memorial located at the foot of Nerang Street was dedicated by the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Albert, John Appel, in a presence of many Southport people.[13] In 2010, renovation of the parklands required the relocation of the memorial; it was re-dedicated on 11 November 2010.[14]
A cement jetty was built in 1914 to replace the earlier structure. In 1927, the Pier Theatre which included a cafe and indoor golf course was built on the jetty. A fire destroyed the structure in 1932 but it was rebuilt and open to the public for nearly forty years.[12]
By the 1950s, Southport was the central entertainment location of the Gold Coast. It was also the administrative centre, with a central business district.
In 2013 the business area of Southport was declared a priority development area, officially creating the Gold Coast central business district.
Landmarks and locations[edit]
The body of water marking the eastern boundary of present day Southport is known as the Gold Coast Broadwater. The Broadwater houses the Southport Yacht Club and a number of marinas on the southern bank of the Nerang River in an area now known as Main Beach. The area is used for fishing, boating, and watersports. Located opposite Southport on the far side of the Broadwater on The Spit, is the theme park Sea World. Although the Broadwater water is suitable for swimming, it is only six minutes from Surfers Paradise, which features high quality beaches and infrastructure including a permanent life guard station. The present day southern boundary of Southport is the Nerang River.
On the western side of the Broadwater, is the Southport Broadwater Parklands which opened in 2009 [15][16] and has undergone subsequent expansions in 2013 and 2016. [17] Within the Parklands precinct are the Southport Pier, Gold Coast, Gold Coast Aquatic Centre and the Southport War Memorial, Gold Coast. Overlooking the Parklands is Australia Fair Shopping Centre.
Australia Fair Shopping Centre is an indoor shopping centre spreading over Scarborough Street with frontages on Nerang Street and the Gold Coast Highway. Containing 233 stores and a cinema, it was established in 1983, initially on the site of the former milk factory and entirely on the site of the former Pacific Hotel Southport which was built in 1878, redesigned in 1927 and demolished in 1988 to make way for the expansion of the shopping complex. [18][19]
The western end of Nerang Street in the vicinity of the intersection of Scarborough Street is also known as the Southport Mall. The re-opening of the mall (the old CBD, located adjacent to the shopping centre) to low-speed through traffic, after eight years of closure to vehicles, took place in 2000. [20]
At the top of the mall, on the south western intersection of Scarborough and Nerang Streets, is the Art Deco styled Hotel Cecil (Southport) which is considered an 'important anchor' in the streetscape. [21] Opposite the hotel is a G:link station and, a few metres to the north, is the major northern bus interchange for the Gold Coast.
The City of Gold Coast Southport Branch Library is located on the Corner of Garden and Lawson Streets. It was previously located on the top floor of the Australia Fair Shopping Centre. The Southport Branch Library was completed in 2002 and is one of 14 branches of the city's library. Upstairs, in the same building, is the Local Studies Library which includes the city's historical collection of materials including documents, photographs, films, advertising and memorabilia. [22]
St Hilda's School, which was founded in 1911, is located opposite the hospital and is the only all-girls school on the Gold Coast. Southport is home to The Southport School, which was once the largest boarding school in Queensland. The school was founded in 1901 and has a well-known clock tower and chapel. It is also one of the few schools in Australia where cadet service is mandatory.[citation needed]
In April 2009, the three-tower Southport Central development was opened.[23]
in 2014, the Gold Coast City Council, in an effort to revitalise and solidify the Southport as the Central Business District for the Gold Coast, opened its own Chinatown.
The Sundale Shopping Centre, which opened on 26 March 1969, was the first of its kind on the Gold Coast costing a record $7.5 million but closed in 1989 after the larger Australia Fair Shopping Centre opened nearby.[citation needed] It was located on 5 hectares (12 acres) of prime real estate facing the Broadwater which was previously the site of the popular Southport Hotel which was originally constructed in 1876. [18]
As well as providing panoramic views of the Nerang River from the upper floor, it was home to Queensland's first Big W department store as well as a cinema, restaurants, 45 speciality stores and a 7,000-vehicle car park. It was proposed as a location for the building of the Gold Coast Convention Centre. Such a development would have rejuvenated the old administrative centre of the Gold Coast. However, it lost its bid to Broadbeach, in part because of a lack of tourist accommodation in Southport.[citation needed]
The site hosted weekly markets throughout the 1990s for several years after its closure, until its eventual demolition in 2003, at which time a time capsule was buried where the popular mall once stood.[where?] The area is now home to the Meriton Brighton on Broadwater development, a mix of high and low-rise buildings together with trendy eateries and some retail outlets. In more recent years[when?] another a time capsule was discovered on the Sundale site which was buried when the mall was originally constructed. It was originally meant to be opened in the 2000s and was filled with notes and items which were meant to predict what the 21st century would be like. It is now located in the Gold Coast City Council Local Studies Library.[citation needed]
Chinatown Gold Coast[edit]
Chinatown Gold Coast The $6.8 million Chinatown precinct is an integral part of the revitalisation of Southport as an international CBD for the Gold Coast. Chinatown is being developed in partnership with the community, private sector and government. It will offer an authentic Asian experience and create a unique destination on the light rail corridor in the heart of the CBD.
Chinatown is already encouraging Chinese and Asian tourists and fostering international relationships and investment, reinforcing the City as a destination to do business, be entertained, to live and be educated.
Chinatown will provide a sense of home for the Chinese and Asian community that permanently reside on the Gold Coast. As part of the Mayor's second home strategy, Gold Coast Chinatown will bring a sense of safety and community to the thousands of international students studying at Gold Coast universities, English language schools and colleges.
This modern Chinatown is focused on Young and Davenport Streets in Southport. It will be a place for the Gold Coast to celebrate its diversity through culture, design, people and food. Chinatown will be an exciting mix of restaurants, cultural festivals and boutique; a place of cultural indulgence and celebration.
A four metre high statue of Confucius was recently unveiled and soon, three paifangs – traditional Chinese gateways – will mark the entries to the precinct.
Gold Coast Chinatown will be true to the Gold Coast spirit and will represent our new world relationship with the Asia-Pacific region.
Gold Coast Aquatic Centre[edit]
The Gold Coast Aquatic Centre is located on Marine Parade adjacent to Southport Broadwater. It has a 50-metre Olympic pool with diving towers, 33- and 25-metre pools and a 15-metre indoor teaching pool. These pools are heated. There is a children's aquatic playground which includes a wading pool.
Southport Broadwater Parklands[edit]
There is a major park located along the shore of the Southport Broadwater. The state government has allocated A$16M with matched funding from Gold Coast City Council (over $32 million in total), to invest into the parklands. The works will include building a pier along the Southport Mall alignment. The park will be known as Broadwater Park.
Health and Knowledge[edit]
Located on the eastern edge of the suburb is home to the Gold Coast's health and knowledge precinct. Griffith University, Gold Coast Campus is home to over 18,200 students and offers student living accommodation. Griffith University is the city's largest University. Located across the road is the Gold Coast University Hospital (GCUH). GCUH is a large 800 bed teaching hospital that opened in 2013.
Southport General Cemetery[edit]
The 4.2-hectare Southport General Cemetery was gazetted on 16 July 1880. It is controlled by Gold Coast City Council as trustee. The cemetery is located on Queen Street which was the original route to Southport. This route led to the earliest wharf at Broadwater. Lantern Ghost Tours Gold Coast run historical night tours weekly through the Southport General Cemetery
Heritage listings[edit]
Southport has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
- Marine Parade: Southport Bathing Pavilion[24]
- Nerang Street: former Southport Town Hall[25]
- off Macarthur Parade: Main Beach Pavilion and Southport Surf Lifesaving Club[26]
- 210 Queen Street: Southport Drill Hall[27]
Habitats for native mammals include large trees with or without hollows, fallen logs, leaf litter and understorey vegetation. These provide food, shelter and places for breeding. Southport is a lovely place for picnics, riverside walks and birdwatching in the Broadwater Parklands.
Southport experiences a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) with humid, wet summers and warm winters.

Sport and recreation[edit]
A number of sporting teams represent the local area, including the Southport Leagues Club, Southport Tigers, Southport Soccer Club, Southport Surf Life Saving Club and the Southport Sharks.
The 1954 Australian Grand Prix was held at Southport on 7 November,[29] using a circuit made up of public roads.[30] The circuit was 5.7 miles in length, and there were two "no-passing" sections, where the road surface was too narrow for overtaking and too expensive to widen.[29] The Grand Prix was won by Lex Davison in a HWM-Jaguar, ahead of Curly Brydon in an MG TC and Ken Richardson in a Ford V8 Special.[29] Only two more meetings were held at the track - the Queensland Racing Car Championship in October 1955, and a motorcycle meeting in the same year.[29]
Southport has numerous main roads that connect Southport with other suburbs. Gold Coast Highway travels the full length along the coast on the Gold Coast connecting Southport with all the coastal suburbs on the city. Smith Street Motorway is a motorway grade extension of smith street connecting the suburb to the Pacific Motorway that connects the city to Brisbane.
Southport is also well serviced by public transport. A light rail system called G:link opened in July 2014 and runs from Broadbeach to Gold Coast University Hospital. There are seven light rail stations in the suburb, connecting Southport with the major hubs of Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. There are two major bus stations - Southport and GCUH. The Southport bus station is located in the heart of the suburb on Scarborough Street which provides regular and high frequency services to mainly the northern suburbs. GCUH bus station is situated on the western part of Southport, servicing Gold Coast University Hospital and the northern part of the Griffith University, Gold Coast campus. All services are a part of the Translink integrated fare system.
An extension to the light rail system was announced in October 2015.. It would operate from the current terminus at Gold Coast University Hospital to Helensvale railway station. The extension is expected to open before the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[31] Helensvale is the suburb's nearest railway station, located 11 km from the Southport CBD. The railway line provides a connection to Brisbane city and Brisbane Airport.

Product Description
Freaks (DVD)
Tod Browning, who directed Bela Lugosi in the original Dracula, stepped into even eerier territory with this 1932 story of betrayal and retribution in the circus. Evil trapeze artist Olga Baclanova seduces and marries a midget in the circus sideshow, hoping to inherit his wealth. But in doing so, she has crossed the wrong folks: the tightly knit group of nature's aberrations, who stick together like family--and who set out to avenge their little pal. Browning brought in some of the most famous sideshow attractions of the era, include Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton and Johnny Eck the Legless Boy, as well as Zip and Pip, microcephalics whose appearance in this film inspired cartoonist Bill Griffith to create his comic strip, "Zippy the Pinhead." So disturbing that it was banned for 30 years in Great Britain. --Marshall Fine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

What makes this movie interesting isn't the plot, it's the actors, or I should say the people acting out the story. Because most of them aren't really acting. The leading villainess is probably an actor, I don't know. And there are probably a few other real actors here. But most of the "actors" are real freaks: the pinheads, the midgets, the siamese twins, the human torso. The pinheads don't need to act out their confusion and inarticulation; it's real. The midgets don't have to act out their social isolation. The siamese twins don't have to act out their physical and mental fusion. And the human torso doesn't have to practice lighting a cigarette with no arms and no legs to make it look real.
Because these "actors" are real freaks. And, more importantly, they are real human beings. Which is why the title "Freaks" is so ironic; this is a movie about human beings who also happen to be freaks.
Seventy years ago, people ran away screaming because they didn't want to believe it was real, and this movie was banned for a long time. Today, I'd like to think that people watching this movie have more understanding about the real message in this movie, that a human freak is not just a freak, but a human being also.
This is not a horror movie. And it's not an exploitation movie. It's in a category all by itself. It will fascinate you and repell you, and hopefully make you think.

Listen to The Rock live from anywhere
The Rock Workday10 - 3pm weekdays
Actor/singer Kyle Gass has credited his Tenacious D bandmate Jack Black with saving him "from the abyss" by sending him to rehab last year.
The funnyman admits he fell into a spiral of self-hatred and began getting high on marijuana brownies every day until Black stepped in.
Opening up about his treatment for the first time, Gass reveals it was Black who "saved me from the abyss" when his behaviour flew "out of control", telling The Sunday Times Magazine, "I went insane last year. I had to be sent away to the loony hatch. Just rehab. I was eating large amounts of marijuana in brownies... Every day... I'd send my assistant to the store. We have stores where you can buy it. It's crazy. I had a desperate need to be Van Gogh or something. Some tremendous artist. Jack's so successful, what's wrong with me, why isn't this working for me? I hated myself."
The troubled star initially rejected Black's attempts to stage an intervention, but the School of Rock star insisted he get help and hired a private jet to fly his pal to a treatment centre in Utah.
Gass adds, "Thank God we went on a private plane. I didn't want any f**king Southwest Airlines passengers capturing it on their phones. Us hugging in the aisle, crying."
This could also be of interest...
"Pick a window. I hope you like hospital food... Give me the f**king finger, mate. You f**king come backstage and I'll f**king sort you out myself. C*nt."

I sure hope the current controversy over Bush's steel tariffs puts to rest the fallacy that protectionism is in the "national interest." Here's a clear case where wine for one interest group (steel producers/workers) is poison for another (auto producers/workers, among others). "Buy American" is not only wrong-headed; it's also incoherent.
P.S.: I'm taking great pleasure at Bush's predicament.

GTA Online Rank Up
Does anyone else find it to be extremely long to rank up? I've been doing jobs legitimately and it seems like it takes forever. I do notice some people are like rank 70 or something...either they play for hours on end and have no friends or they glitched the hell out of the game before the patches.
Any tips on how to rank up faster? Do you get better jobs with higher ranks...right now I am rank 18.
Just do some races, parachute jumps etc. online, you'll get better Xp than doing jobs solo.
yes, it does take ages to rank up.
even with doing the same race over and over again it still takes too long to rank up IMO. possibly bank heists will be a better way of leveling up but well have to wait and see
I did some Criminal Records with a friend and went up from 32 to 40 in about 20 minutes or so, otherwise it is pretty slow.
win more..
If you don't want to boost or grind, then doing survival daily and some races is the fastest way to rank up, and it's still slow.
I've encountered a evil 200 ish. If you see one, swap session. No freaking chance to survive.
3-4 races/missions etc etc and i find its a rank up, not that slow tbh though i am only lvl 23 atm, i know it will get longer but also better things open up so should even out a little bit.
I got reset and did 1-16 legit then boosted rooftop rumble to level 60, I'm now level 85 and them 25 levels are a mix of doing survival, criminal records solo and criminal records with someone else 2 laps and you always recieve around 3k(sometimes more dependant on your lap time) after the first lap and you fly through the levels. Also criminal records is really good for boosting car class races so you unlock engine upgrades and the chrome paint for each class so you're not pointlessly racing round :P
Yea I find doing races with full parties always works the best. The RP and money goes way up with a full lobby vs only 2-4 players in the lobby. When the party starts to empty out, I just go back to free roam and join another race lobby with a high population.
It's far too easy imo.
If anyone got wanted in 4 without boosting or playing much Hmn it took a good solid 6 - 9 months.
I hate how they dumb everything down for 5.
Just as well really as it's miles more boring than 4's m.p at this point.
so does a solo race count towards the unlocks in that class ? or does it have to have at least a second player ?
I love this 'You're a high rank so you must have cheated' bullshit.
Honestly, it's fucking pathetic :)
I'm rank 112 and I have a full time job and plenty of friends. I'm just good at the game. Don't hate on others just because you're shit.
My 2 cents.
I also found that golf is decent. It helps increase Strength stat and you get around 2000 RP (give or take depending on how over/under par you are) each round of 9. Also, the later missions from Lester and Trevor give an ok amount (plus some decent cash).
Rank 32 currently but I don't mind taking it slow.
I agree with the golf way, if you take a 9 hole game you get a nice 2000 Rp and the strenght ofcourse.
Also I do everytime when I go online the Boneyard survival, I do it alone, takes about 25 min. to get to wave 10.
Nice cash rewards en also again some nice Rp
If you want to know how to survive alone, just stand behinde the porto cabin on the right site and the enemys will run in to your line of fire.
I'm gonna be on for a while tonight if anyone wants to do criminal records with me. I'm trying to rank up fast. Send me a message if you're interested. GT: K1LL3R 0WN3R. (That's a zero)
rooftop rumble on hard is better than a survival.
more rp at an avg of 3800 each time and the cash is 18750 each time
i boost this a couple of times a day with randoms occasionally a friend joins in.
I agree that Rooftop Rumble is the best way to level up now.

Assumption man charged with attempted murder
Published: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 3:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 3:32 p.m.
THIBODAUX — A 27-year-old Assumption Parish man is charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting one man and attempting to shoot another Monday night in Napoleonville.
Steven Blaine, of 3328 Back Marais Lane, Napoleonville, allegedly used a shotgun to shoot Kelvin Johnson multiple times in his legs, arms and back. Blaine is also accused of shooting at Curtis
Johnson, during the incident on Coleman and Johnson Street.
Blaine's alleged gunfire also struck an inhabited mobile home, Assumption Sheriff Mike Waguespack said.
Blaine is charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder and aggravated criminal damage
to property. He is being held at the Assumption Parish jail while awaiting a judge to set his bond.
Kelvin Johnson has been treated and released from Assumption Community Hospital in Napoleonville, Waguespack said.
Detectives believe the alleged shooting came as the result of a trio of fist fights between Blaine and Kelvin Johnson, Waguespack added. Blaine allegedly confessed to detectives that he used his stepfather's shotgun.

I have a multi workstation LAN with Apache2 serving a website at 10.0.0.3:80 and running on Ubuntu Linux. This LAN is segmented from another LAN via a router, from which all machines on this LAN receive their IP's.
Is the following concept feasible or is there a more sensible way?
The goal is to make the LAN behave similarly to how no-ip.com functions on the Internet. With this in mind, I would like to setup one of the workstations with CentOS 6 and configure it as a DNS server and an apache webserver that is configured for wildcard subdomains. All subdomains from this server shall point to the website on the Ubuntu server at IP 10.0.0.3:80.
So that, for example, with a domain of local.lan on the CentOS server, any requests from any browser on the LAN, i.e. for *wildcard.local.lan, will be resolved to the site residing on the Ubuntu webserver, while all non local addresses are directed to the Internet.
Some of my concerns are:
Will dnsmasq suffice as the dns server in this configuration? What are some key configuration notes for dnsmasq and apache in this multi server configuration? Will I still be able to use the router for the IP's? Are there simpler alternatives?l

Happy gameday, we're all set up here at Notre Dame Stadium for what certainly feels like Pitt's biggest game of the season. A win today would make national waves and provide a signature moment for Paul Chryst in his first season. A few notes before we get started...
- Here's a link to my preview story from today's P-G, about the opportunity standing in front of the Panthers today.
- I know there were some reports last night that the charges against Devin Street, Ray Graham and Lafayette Pitts have been dropped. According to a couple of sources I talked to last night, the charges are, in fact, still pending. I'll keep you posted if anything new comes up.
- Shane Gordon has made the trip and will dress today, but I wouldn't expect too much from him availability-wise. Most likely, he's there as an emergency option in case Joe Trebitz gets hurt.

The movie starts on a reasonably funny note, as the rodent duo hop aboard an albatross to head for the swamps. Albatrosses are incredibly aerodynamic, but they are less then stellar at takeoffs and landings, and Orville the Albatross (Jim Jordan) proves no more adept than his brethren. After a plummet off a building that thrills Miss Bianca and petrifies Bernard, the journey has begun.
In the swamps the duo marshals the other animals to take on Madame Medusa (Geraldine Page), who needs the little orphan Penny (Michelle Stacy) to fit into a hole that leads to a cave. In the cave is located a quantity of jewels, but Madame Medusa is interested only in a huge diamond called the Devil's Eye. The Rescue Society mice and their swampland friends must overcome Madame Medusa and her aids Mr. Snoops (Joe Flynn) and a pair of alligators, who also frequently play babysitter to Penny.
Madame Medusa never realizes that the mice and swamp animals are trying to rescue Penny, which makes this movie more interesting to watch. As happens with many such movies, Madame Medusa's henchmen are cerebrally challenged and the animals are able to plan around them.
The ending of the movie contains a few surprises, and I found the end interesting. This movie also nicely sets up the excellent sequel "The Rescuers Down Under."
The real star of this clever movie is Eva Gabor. Bob Newhart gets top billing, but Eva was perfect for her role and seems to get the best lines in the movie.Read more ›
There's wonderful music, and the ensemble cast of the folks in the Bayou is terrific. Then of course there are the two crocodiles who are just as mean and evil as Madame Medusa, and all for what - the Diamond - and Medusa is going to never let Penny see her little Teddy again if she doesn't produce it.
This is classic melodrama for children, although not too heavy handed. It's a nice movie, but maybe a little too intense for the real small kids.
Highly recommended!!!
Opposite to Penny and the sweet animals in the film is the main villainess, Madame Medusa.Read more ›
The two find that Madam Medusa, a pawn shop owner kidnapped the girl and has hidden her in her boat which is located in a desserted swamp. The two mice fly to the swamp on a gull were they find a young Penny trying escape the evil Medusa put is caught by Medusa's pet crocadiles. Bernard & Miss Bionca befriend a group of rodents who help the mice get on board the boat. There they over-hear that Medusa kidnapped Penny so that she could get her hands on the largest un-cut diamond in the world, the Devil's Eye, and that Penny is the only one who can fit in the cave. When the two help Penny get the diamond they call upon their rodent friends to help them catch & turn Medusa over to the police.
The movie was followed by a sequel in 1990 "The Rescuers Down Under" which was probally the only ever decent Disney sequel.

Florida Marlins relief pitcher Logan Kensing is at the moment staring down maybe the most active environmental group in his part of the world, and could face protests at games.
Members of the Palm Beach County Environmental Coalition are threatening a public relations storm because they object to Kensing's shooting feral hogs on ranchland he manages. They say by discussing it, Kensing is glorifying indiscriminate killing.
The group has written to the Marlins, and at its next scheduled meeting on April 7, it will discuss what further steps, if any, its members will take.
"They came at us hard," Kensing said. "I didn't do anything wrong."
To understand how the 25-year-old landed in this predicament, it's useful to talk with his best friend and former Texas A&M roommate, Jeff Lang, who with Kensing manages and guides hunts on five ranches in the Texas Hill Country and south-central part of the state.
Their duties include scoping deer on the property, counting the buck-to-doe ratio and generally keeping the 11,000 acres of ranchland hospitable for game animals.
Lang recently tried to explain what it feels like to shoot feral hogs, as he and Kensing did for the first time this year — from a helicopter. "It's almost indescribable," he said, but here's what he finally came up with.
"Being up in a helicopter, it is absolutely unlike anything you've ever done before," he said. "To have a pilot that's very good, to be able to be going just as fast as those things can run, 12 or 15 feet above the ground, staying right on them — and just being in the helicopter itself and seeing the land from above at that range, whether you're hunting or not, is almost indescribable itself.
"The predator control is definitely a bonus, to get to hunt from a chopper. I guess it's like anything else, as far as adrenaline goes, but when you're leaning over the ground 30 or 40 feet, going 30 or 40 mph, trying to keep aim — absolutely, the adrenaline's flowing."
In interviews this winter, Kensing was open about what a rush the experience was. That's when trouble began to brew.
'Conservation nightmare'
The feral razorback hogs at issue are not the native javelinas of the American Southwest. Tough, big, smart and omnivorous, feral pigs impose themselves on other animals, food sources and the land itself as an unnnatural, invasive species.
The hogs running around Texas and the American Southeast, often referred to as "wild," descended from swine imported from Russia and Europe. The very qualities that earned their ancestors a ride to the New World as a food source — durability, adaptability and rapid reproduction — now make them one of the most reviled invasive species in the world.
"They are a conservation nightmare," said Mike Bodenchuk, director of Texas' Wildlife Services Program, a joint state-federal service that manages wildlife problems, including the couple million or so feral hogs in the state. "The joke in Texas is, the average litter size is six — and 10 survive."
In January, Kensing and Lang surveyed a ranch in a hired helicopter. For the first couple of hours, they took stock of the deer.
With that accomplished and an hour left on the meter, the pilot asked them whether they'd like to use the time to shoot some hogs, which of course they did.
"I'm not going to lie," Kensing told ESPNOutdoors.com. "It's bad-ass. It's one of the best things I've ever got to do. From a management standpoint, we're doing a month's work in two hours."
The press in South Florida already knows Kensing as a hunter; after Dick Cheney peppered a hunting partner with birdshot in Texas, reporters asked for the Texan pitcher's opinion on the matter.
Kensing has been hunting since he was about 5 years old, when he would nap on the floor of the deer stand while his granddad hunted. The first thing he remembers shooting with a .22 was a rabbit that he proudly carried around until it was cold and stiff — and he remembers his mom removing all the ticks that had crawled off the rabbit and onto him.
That was 18 years ago, and he has been a sportsman ever since.
Still, he appeared to catch a Palm Beach Post reporter off-guard when he was asked what was the most interesting thing he'd done in the off-season. "Shot pigs out of a helicopter," Kensing said.
To which the follow-up question was, naturally, "Did you say, 'Shot pigs out of a helicopter'?"
'Rather perverse'
He did, and it irked some Floridians. On March 9, when the team was still in spring training, Barry Silver, the co-chair of the Palm Beach County Environmental Coalition, sent a letter to Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria and general manager Michael Hill, demanding the team "reprimand" Kensing for behavior Silver said was unbecoming a role model.
"[T]he last thing our youth needs in this violence-prone era is a Marlins pitcher who tells our youth unabashedly that killing is thrilling, and that a gun is fun," wrote Silver, an attorney, rabbi and former Florida state representative.
In an interview soon afterward with the Palm Beach Post, Silver mentioned that 27 members of the Coalition had been arrested just weeks earlier while protesting the construction of a natural gas power plant. The message was plain: They're committed, and unafraid.
Since then, Kensing said, no one among the Marlins management has told him to curb his pig extermination. Hogs in Texas aren't protected as a game animal — they're considered the property of the land-owner — so shooting them from the air isn't regulated as a "hunt." It's not only legal for pilots with permits, it's a common way for Texans to thin out hogs.
Reached at his Boca Raton office, Silver explained that his revulsion at the shooting wasn't so much the killing, but Kensing's apparent enthusiasm.
"I consider that rather perverse, that someone would get a charge out of killing something," Silver said told ESPNOutdoors.com.
'A very efficient tool'
To a reasonable person, rousting hogs with a flying metal bird and shooting them from the air could seem like overkill. But Texans involved in land management argue it's a fast, efficient and ultimately merciful way to accomplish an unpleasant duty.
"It's not really an evil, in my opinion," Lang said. "But if they want to look at it as that, it's a necessary evil from my standpoint."
Hogs' effects on the ecosystem in Texas are multifold. Some of their distinctions include the following:
They eat anything and everything, and on a ranch where the goal is to nurture game animals, that has serious consequences. They eat corn from feeders. They vacuum up acorns deer and turkey require, and at an intake rate of 3 percent of their body mass daily, a single hog may pound 6 pounds of acorns daily.
They'll eat a fawn, if times are hard, but no animals have it worse than ground birds such as turkey and quail — unless, perhaps, it's the sea turtles whose nests they turn up and devour along the Texas coast.
"Ecologically speaking, native animals have not evolved having to avoid feral hogs," said Dale Prochaska, a wildlife biologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department whose expertise Lang occasionally seeks. "Hogs were not part of this system originally. For humans to have introduced them, basically that's a huge problem."
In west Texas, they're so prolific, said Bodenchuk, they sustain mountain lions who otherwise might die or disperse. Those lions in turn add pressure to deer populations, further throwing the natural balance out of whack.
They carry diseases such as leptospirosis and brucellosis, making them unsafe around livestock and even for humans to handle without protection, and their waste contains E. coli. Three Texas watersheds are approaching EPA minimum levels of that bacteria strictly because of hog pollution, Bodenchuk said.
They're physically destructive, ravaging fences and corn feeders, and churning up the ground.
"They just root up acres and acres and acres," said Kerry Cornelius, the director of the Ranch Management Program at Texas Christian University in Forth Worth. "If you have to go in and farm that, then, it's extremely rough. It tears up equipment. You could equate it to someone ransacking your house. They didn't take anything, but you have to pay to clean it up."
They're awesome survivors, reproducing quickly enough that one pregnant sow in three years can become a colony of 500 offspring.
They also learn quickly to avoid traps and snares, two of the other methods used in controlling them. (And trapping means facing a large, scared hog. "When we used to trap them," Kensing said, "my mom used to get pissed. We'd grab them by the back legs, and she'd be like, 'You guys are going to get torn up.'")
"It is a very real ecological control situation that needs to be implemented," Bodenchuk said. "We have people trapping pigs and, I keep telling people, you can't barbecue your way out of this problem. We've got 2 million pigs breeding all the time, and we're not going to eat enough to control them."
That leaves hunting them with dogs — which is better described as a hunt rather than an efficient management technique — and poisoning them with cyanide, which has its obvious drawbacks.
Snares and poison, Kensing said, are "not very empathetic to the animals."
Nor do those practices kill hogs as efficiently as shooting, which Bodenchuk said is the most effective method of control over the three-quarters of Texas not canopied with tall timber. His agency recently "removed" 1,500 pigs from a 10,000-acre stretch in one week of aerial shooting.
"You don't go up for hours on end and maim everything in sight," Lang said. "You shoot until you know it's dead. That's why it's efficient and humane. They can't get away from you. People see that as an unfair advantage, but in all honesty, sir, it's not a hunt — it's a control deal. It's a tool to keep our livelihood going in the right direction."
"It's a very necessary tool, and it's a very efficient tool," Lang continued. "But that doesn't take away from the fun of it."
Vick's shadow
A question arises: Should a person who derives any sort of excitement from shooting an animal describe that feeling in polite company?
And in the wake of Michael Vick's dog fighting crimes, how delicately must professional athletes discuss the harming of animals?
Ana Rodriguez, a resident of Lake Worth, Fla., and a member of the Palm Beach County Environmental Coalition, said she knows enough about the effects of unchecked hogs in the Everglades to realize the necessity of controlling them. But she felt Kensing conveyed a coarse attitude toward animals when he told the Palm Beach Post, "You can shoot bobcats, wild dogs, coyotes, pigs. Anything that's considered native."
She worries that children who admire Major League ballplayers would interpret that as license to shoot any native species.
"The team management should make sure they don't condone that kind of attitude," Rodriguez said in an interview. "We're definitely not anti-hunting. We've got members who hunt. We're not just a bunch of overemotional vegetarians. It's got to do with promoting (the shooting of animals) indiscriminately for fun."
Silver said he did receive a call from Marlins president David Samson in response to his letter. "He was very polite," Silver said. "He said he spoke to Mr. Kensing about it, and he explained our point of view, but he was also emphatic that he wasn't going to tell him what to do or curb his behavior in any way."
